Chapter 631: Deep Roots and Lush Leaves
When Lan Ziyi and Yueshan went out of the inn, the store and Xiao Er were surprised, and the store almost had to recheck Lan Ziyi's identity documents, but fortunately, Lan Ziyi and their documents were complete, Lan Ziyi still had a tooth card by his side, and the store had nothing to embarrass about.
Before going out, Lan Ziyi carefully asked the shopkeeper about a few grain merchants' shops and the shops of the horse farm, the two were not on the same road, Lan Ziyi and Yueshan went out and acted separately, and before parting, Yueshanjian said to Lan Ziyi:
"Brother Wei, Xiaosheng is one step ahead, and my brother can finally avoid my sight and act freely."
Yueshan was dressed in men's clothes, and he specially lowered his voice, pretending to be a scholar, Lan Ziyi couldn't help but laugh when he saw this scene, he held back a smile and said:
"What did Brother Yue Xian say? Wherever I go, I will be found by my brother, and I can avoid it wherever I go. Brother Xian, don't laugh, go and do something. β
Hearing this, Yueshan raised his head and glanced at Lan Ziyi, then turned around and snorted and left.
Lan Ziyi also walked to another street after leaving in the Moon Mountain. Although Jingkou is not as prosperous as Beijing, it is a transportation hub connecting the north and south of the river, and all the materials of Jiangdong are concentrated here, and then loaded into a boat to cross the river and enter the canal. However, Lan Ziyi didn't go to the street today to visit Jingkou and enjoy the scenery, he came for something.
Lan Ziyi followed the innkeeper's words and walked a few streets to the place where the horses were sold. The innkeeper pointed out to Lan Ziyi a prosperous commercial street, Lan Ziyi walked around the street to find the plaque of "Saibei Racecourse", he stood at the door of the point up and down left and right carefully, and did not step into the store for a long time.
It didn't seem to have any customers for a few days, and the guys in the store were all sitting behind the counter, napping or chatting or chatting, each killing time. However, the guys in the store still have good eyesight, and when they saw Lan Ziyi standing at the door and looking, they immediately got up and got busy, and a guy walked up to Lan Ziyi and asked Lan Ziyi to enter the house, he said:
"Childe, are you coming to see the horses? Inside please! Inside please! β
The guy in the door shouted to the back hall, shopkeeper, someone has come to see the horse.
Lan Ziyi was hugged into the store by the guy before he could speak, and after sitting down, Lan Ziyi smiled:
"How do you know I'm here to buy a horse?"
The guy who poured tea for Lan Ziyi on the side replied with a smile:
"Childe, you must be interested in our shop when you stand at the door and look around, we are here to sell horses, why do you come to see if you don't buy horses?"
Lan Ziyi said:
"You're wrong, I'm just looking at the door."
Guy said:
"What questions does Childe have?"
Lan Ziyi said:
"You claim to be a horse farm, but you only occupy such a small storefront on the street, how can you raise horses with only such a small place?"
Guy said:
"Childe doesn't know anything, the city is small, the land is expensive, we only set up a faΓ§ade in the city, the real place to raise horses is outside the city, we have rented a large area there, all kinds of horse breeds at home and abroad have captivity, Childe can go over and pick at any time as long as he likes."
Lan Ziyi smiled and took a sip of the teacup, he said:
"It's a pity that I'm not interested in buying horses, haven't you been busy for half a day?"
The guy laughed when he heard this:
"Our shopkeeper usually makes it clear to us, the one who comes is the guest, although the son does not buy a horse today, but he must be interested in our things when he comes in, you can look at it first, you can come and see it again another day, and it is not too late to buy it when you want to buy it."
You see, not our shopkeeper is also coming out. β
When Lan Ziyi heard this, he turned his head to look at the back hall, and saw a middle-aged man walking from the back hall, and the guy who greeted Lan Ziyi said:
"This son, you look so good-looking, have I seen you somewhere."
Lan Ziyi just smiled and didn't pick up the guy's words, and the shopkeeper who went out was surprised when he saw Lan Ziyi made in the hall, and he quickly stepped forward and said to Lan Ziyi:
"Young Master, why are you here!"
Then the shopkeeper greeted the guy in the store and said:
"What are you doing in a daze, it's our young master of the Lan family sitting here."
When the guys in the store heard this, they hurriedly took action, and they followed behind the shopkeeper to make a move, and the guy who was waiting for Lan Ziyi to enter the door just now muttered:
"I said I thought I had seen it somewhere, it turned out to be the young master!"
Lan Ziyi saw that the shopkeeper recognized him, got up with a smile, he walked to the shopkeeper and helped the person up, and said at the same time:
"Shopkeeper, please get up, although I can't remember your appearance, but what do you say is also the old man of Luoyanguan, my elder, I can't afford to accept such a big gift from you."
Then Lan Ziyi said to the other guys:
"Brothers, get up quickly, this is the store, not the house, even if everyone in the house has never seen the outside world like this, get up quickly."
The shopkeeper and the guys got up one after another when they heard Lan Ziyi's words, and the shopkeeper gave the guys a look, and most of the guys were in groups of three or five just now, busy with their own work, but the guy who had been greeting Lan Ziyi just now continued to stay and serve.
Lan Ziyi said to the guy:
"This brother has good eyesight, I can't even remember when I met you, but you look at me with a kind face."
The fellow smiled and said:
"Young master, although you usually live in a simple place and only know how to read, the sergeant in our gate doesn't know you!"
The shopkeeper then said:
"Young master, let's please."
Lan Ziyi waved his hand and sat back in his position just now, and he said:
"No need, I'll have to leave later, sit down soon, let's talk outside."
The shopkeeper didn't insist, and sat down with Lan Ziyi, and the shopkeeper asked:
"Isn't the young master in the capital? Why did you suddenly come to Kyoguchi? Is it to come out to have fun and relax? β
Lan Ziyi said:
"That's not it, I have something to do, and there are a few things in the store today that I want you to help me."
When the shopkeeper heard this, he said:
"Young Master, please order."
Seeing this, Lan Ziyi raised his hand and pressed the shopkeeper's hand down, and he said:
"Don't see the shopkeeper, this is not in the army, and there are a lot of pedestrians on the street, there are many people, and it is not good to be seen."
The shopkeeper nodded:
"The young master is right. I don't know when the young master asked us to do it? β
Hearing this, Lan Ziyi reached into his arms to get the letter, and at the same time he touched something else. Lan Ziyi didn't remember that he had put other papers in his pocket, and after taking it out, he opened it and found that it was actually a portrait of Ji Zhinian. Lan Ziyi's clothes were new clothes that he had changed into after entering the inn, and the only one who could stuff things into his pocket was Yueshanjian, and just now Lan Ziyi was worried about how he talked to the shopkeeper about Ji Zhinian.
Lan Ziyi looked at the portrait in his hand and sighed with a smile:
"This month, it's really clever."
The shopkeeper looked at the portrait in Lan Ziyi's hand and asked:
"Young Master, are you looking for this person?"
Lan Ziyi nodded and said:
"Exactly."
Saying that, Lan Ziyi handed the portrait to the shopkeeper, and he asked:
"Have you seen this person? He left the capital yesterday, and it is possible that he fled to the Jingkou side. β
The shopkeeper took the portrait and looked at it for a while, then shook his head and said:
"I haven't seen this person."
Then the shopkeeper handed the portrait to the guys to circulate, and the guys shook their heads after reading it and said they hadn't seen it.
After everyone in the store saw it, the portrait was passed to Lan Ziyi, who handed the portrait to the shopkeeper and said:
"The portrait will be put here for you first, you find someone to copy a copy and leave it, send people to find it in the city and around, if it is possible, go downstream of the canal, Gusu and Yuhang also spread a word to the past, I want to take this person back to the capital."
The shopkeeper took the portrait and nodded:
"Young master, don't worry, I will tell my subordinates to handle the matter, and I will send someone to send the original back to your inn later."
Lan Ziyi said:
"In addition to this, there are two other things, one is that this letter needs you to send someone to the old capital immediately to hand it to Luo Yingmin; The second is that there are three of my brothers who came out with me today, but they were stopped in the capital, and there is no trace of them now, if you can do it, send someone to contact the capital, I need to know their movements. β
The shopkeeper said:
"Young master, don't worry, this thing is not difficult."
